Hi,

This is my first post to this list ;-)


I looked over libcurl supported protocols and the roadmap and I didn't found 
any reference about the Web Socket protocol (created from HTML5 WebSockets)

For those who doesn't know it, it is used as an Upgrade of HTTP

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hixie-thewebsocketprotocol

(generated from this source: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-socket-protocol/ )

I know the specification is still a draft but it looks like it is actually more 
stable (and, by the way, some other supported specifications are still drafts 
on IETF)


Wikipedia shows an interesting list of existing implementations: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Sockets



It is being more and more implemented by browsers so I wanted to know if we 
could hope to use it via libcurl



Here the WebSocket client API description: 

- W3C Working Draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/websockets/
- W3C Editor's Draft: http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/


Is there already some work made in this direction ?

Thanks
